KrisWall 966 Posted December 2, 2017 Hello all... I have some pretty rudimentary 3D design skills, a 3D printer and probably a little bit of OCD when it comes to board game storage. I thought it would be cool to have a little case for the hex tiles. The 3D printer is running right now and should finish in several hours. Here's hoping I got the measurements right! The smaller part is a lid. It's upside down in the picture. 4 Ziggy0134, Fnoffen, spainhower and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caelenvasius 197 Posted December 2, 2017 Awesome! I may have to get my local 3D printer guy to run one for me! I'll even buy him the glow-in-the-dark green filament I saw a few weeks ago! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisWall 966 Posted December 2, 2017 I'm printing it out in a bright orange. Once I confirm that it works (via printing my own!), I'll post the files to Thingiverse.com for free. Stay tuned for details. I hope to have the "body" done before I go to bed tonight with the lid maybe tomorrow. Glow-in-the-dark green filament would be awesome for this. I'm debating on priming and painting it to look like a weathered metal canister, with stenciled on pseudo-military looking text. 1 Fnoffen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kamicosmos 54 Posted December 3, 2017 I'll have to try them out! I also have some glow in the dark filament. (Once I get my printer running right. Between not having a heated bed so getting it stick at the start, and then having just random issues with the nozzle(s), I haven't printed anything successfully my last several attempts. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrisWall 966 Posted December 3, 2017 As promised, here's the completed print. I'm really happy with how this turned out. You can download the files here... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2687193 For some reason, I can't add photos. It's only allowing me 60kb?!? Oh well, just click the link and you'll see pictures. 1 spainhower reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
